Foxfire Gardens is filled with beautiful features. Moongate, the entrance to the property, was designed in the Buddhist style to shelter and enhance the sense of the gardens. Pools and streams wind through the property. Long since retreated, Wisconsin glaciers fortunately left some of her debris and a few scars in the fields and farms around Marshfield. Many of the stones are rocks found in the gardens are gifts from that event. An oriental focal point in the gardens is pine trees, "bonsai' shaped to denote 'Sabi and Wabi' antiquity and tranquility. The gardens are private, but the public is welcome to view them May through September or by special arrangement for group tours.

JuRustic Park documents the efforts of amateur paleontologist Clyde Wynia to excavate and recreate as best as possible the now extinct creatures that inhabited the large McMillan Marsh near Marshfield, Wisconsin during the Iron Age. The flesh and bones of all the marsh creatures were ferrous metal, usually mild steel, but occasionally stainless, high carbon or various types of more exotic alloys. Many of the iron species died out when farming and industry moved into the area in the mid 19th century. The creatures were often harvested for their parts that were then used in farm and industrial machinery. Over-harvesting eventually led to extinction of many species. Other species became extinct when acid rain caused them to rust over. Good rust inhibitors, which could have slowed the oxidation, were not readily available to these creatures to save them from the corrosive effects of increasing industrial pollution. To learn more about these ancient creatures and to see some of the replicas that Clyde has created come on in and look around.
